Often enough. There are occasional traps and ambushes as well, and the not very rare crash sites from drivers and their ship that weren't up to snuff. It's not exactly fair game out there on the racing track for Captain Falcon. He has even dodged a similar ship that came from the opposite direction with the sole purpose of a frontal crash with Captain Falcon. He saw it in time and dodged, despite both coming at full speed.
In the anime he could eject out of his vehicle at top speed and react to someone he passed while he flew in the air.
He has pretty insane reaction time.
Shame. I know it was an underrated game. Technically, I did play the first one, but it was only a short demo at a Wal-Mart. I liked the little bit I played.
Anyway, my money still goes to Joe. I guess his fast forward thing he can do that makes him faster is called "Mach Speed." It creates multiple images of him, lets him run super fast, and can provide him with some kind of heat aura which makes him immune to Fire attacks. Going by SSB, Falcon's attacks are fire element.
